Salewa Puez GTX 3L EPE Jacket Women's Etruscan Red XL

The Salewa Puez GTX 3L EPE Jacket for women breaks from conventional hardshells by pairing a 3-layer GORE-TEX Paclite Plus laminate with a fully PFC-free DWR treatment. This delivers uncompromising weather protection without the environmental compromise, making it a standout choice for alpine trekking and demanding hikes. With a 28,000 mm water column and breathability rated below RET 6, you stay dry from both rain and perspiration. The athletic fit and ergonomic sleeves allow unrestricted movement on steep ascents, while the adjustable storm hood with pre-shaped visor shields your face in driving rain. Two waterproof YKK zippered hand pockets keep essentials secure, and Velcro cuffs plus an elastic hem adjustment seal out drafts. Fully taped seams and a lightweight, compressible design make it an ideal companion for multi-day tours where pack space is at a premium. The Etruscan Red colour adds visibility in alpine environments, and the Bluesign approved fabric ensures responsible manufacturing.

In daily use

On the trail, this jacket proves its worth in changeable alpine conditions. The athletic cut moves with you, never restricting your reach or stride, while the storm hood stays put even in gusty winds. The two hand pockets are positioned to remain accessible even when wearing a backpack hip belt, and their waterproof zippers keep contents dry. When the sun breaks through, the jacket packs down small into its own pocket, ready to be stowed until the next squall. The PFC-free DWR beads water effectively, and the fabric's soft, quiet hand feel reduces rustling noise—a welcome detail on long approaches.
